prx984 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I call it a memory key, just because, well, it's memory and it goes on my keychain so what so you call a solid state drive? same stuff... its a memory drive?I'm quite irritated in the tone that you use to talk to people on this forum with. You may have a bit of experience with hardware, but that doesn't give you the right to talk down to people. I have read a lot of your posts, and each post I see by you, is very rude.And to answer your annoying response to what I said, no. It vastly depends on what it is, if its a solid state memory card (ie, CF, SD, XD, Smart Media) it is considered a memory card. If it has a USB connection on it, its memory key. If it's and external Hard drive, its a hard drive.That answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 let me just apologize. i may come off that way alot of time but it has nothing at all to do with you. whenever i get in an argument i tend to be rude with knowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hmmm, "Usb flash drive" appears to be the most "correct" one, but there are of course exceptions, I guess these:Pen DriveUSB keyThumb DriveUSB Stickcan be called differently with no risk of misunderstandings. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 oh, well i guess that would makes sense.. but the funny thing about those car keys, if your cell phone goes off next to it, the key on the flash drive can get messed up and it wont start the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mau-yong Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here, we call it USB Drive (short for USB Flash Drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess those are very literal interpretations of the names. Very good work finding those. Here, we call it USB Drive (short for USB Flash Drive).I've heard that before, but I still think USB drive isn't specific enough; as I stated earlier, there are many kinds of USB Drives. None the less, if someone just blurted out "where's my USB drive," I would think flash drive, not a hard drive with a USB connector or something like that. --------------It appears that so far, (USB) Flash Drive has won.
